Mexico City Congress's Morena party plans to 'unfreeze' total abortion decriminalization; external opinions to be heard

The Morena party in the Mexico City Congress is preparing to revisit the contentious issue of total abortion decriminalization, a topic that has been stalled for over a year. Xóchitl Bravo, coordinator of the Morena Parliamentary Group, stated her strong interest in "unfreezing" this debate.

Personally, I am a feminist woman who defends the right to decide about each of our bodies. So, yes, we will try to resume this topic.

Bravo indicated that she, along with Cecilia Vadillo, president of the Gender Equality Commission, and representatives from women's organizations and local and federal women's secretariats, will reopen dialogue on this critical matter. "Personally, I am a feminist woman who defends the right to decide about each of our bodies. So, yes, we will try to resume this topic," Bravo stated.

She emphasized the need to build consensus, acknowledging that external voices will be heard. "Of course, we will open all consensuses, because it seems to me that on important issues for the city like this, which is a right for women, it is up to us women to opine on it," she added. Bravo also noted that "there will be external voices on this issue that I think should also be heard, but that this is the time to reopen the discussion; of course, we will take it into consideration."
